"Then I won't even bother questioning you. The city is on maximum lockdown and evacuation." She turned to address the others. "Take Arianna and leave. Take the last boat and the gate will close behind you. The citizens will be teleported to the other branches."

Gustav simply stood there. "Surely you don't intend to leave your husband in his current condition?"

Joshua was trying to get to his feet, but lacked the strength to do so. After a while he gave up and began drawing symbols with his own blood.

Daniel turned to face the voice. It came from a rather large wolf. He knew this wolf, but of all the wolves he knew, he was unable to recall this one's name. The wolf stared at him with malicious intent.

Gustav started to speak, but stopped when he noticed Katra's battleaxe begin to glow. Grey energy began to pour from it and Gustav watched as it began to move. He knew that it was Joshua's Reaper energy, diluted by Daniel's human blood, and according to his calculations it would be attracted to the person closest to death in the surrounding area, granting them the powers of a Reaper. However, rather than moving to Gustav, who was bleeding all over the floor, the energy head straight for Daniel. It enveloped his body like a mist and when it cleared the body was gone.

"Is that so? I hardly think it would be appropriate to say-" Gustav was cut off as a sharp metal blade entered his back, severing the spine. He spat out blood as it began to fill his mouth.

As figure in a familiar black cloak stood behind him, holding Soul's Bane in one hand. "You talk too much," the Reaper spoke. "Why don't you just die already." The life left Gustav's eyes as he fell to the floor.
